The people of the Ming Dynasty were short because of nutrition.

Since traveling to this time and space, there are thin people all over the eyes, especially women, most of whom are about 1.50 meters. Men are better, with an average height of one meter and six.

Of course, it's not that there are no tall people, but it depends on the background and family background. For example, the noble sons of the big families, the family members of the border army, and the soldiers of Jiannu are all about 1.70 meters, and it is not uncommon to see 1.80 meters. It can be seen that nutrition still has a great impact on a person's height.

The Ming Dynasty elected officials to have strict requirements for personal image, the facial features should be upright, the national character face is the best, the eyes and characters are also good, the top is wide and the bottom is narrow. As for the wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, small at both ends and large in the middle, even if you have a good score in the imperial examination, you will not be assigned a good position. If the officials are too ugly, they will not have official authority, and the people will be disrespectful, which will damage the dignity of the court.

Therefore, most of the civil officials in the Ming Dynasty were beautiful men, such as Yang Sichang and Liu Yuliang, although Lu Xiangsheng was black but tall enough, he looked majestic.

On the way here, Sun Yuan also imagined the famous Shi Kefa, and he didn't know how elegant and chic he was. But now that I look at it, it is a little old man who weighs less than 100 pounds, and I am inevitably greatly disappointed in my heart.

But when I think about it, people can't look good, and heroes don't care about appearances. Yang Sichang is handsome, but what can he do, it's not a pity to die in this fight, but it's a pity that he didn't die in the hands of my Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan made it to the ground: "Sun Yuan has seen Shi Butang. As he spoke, his eyes still fell on Shi Kefa.

Shi Kefa didn't seem to hear Sun Yuan's words, and still read the file in his hand intently, leaving him aside.

Sun Yuan maintained a posture of reaching the ground for a long time, but he didn't hear Shi Kefa's words to calm himself down, and his heart suddenly felt a little uneasy, and his voice became louder: "Sun Yuan has seen Shi Butang. ”

Shi Kefa seemed to be awakened by him, and snorted in his nose, looking very unhappy. Then he raised his head suddenly, and fell on Sun Yuan's body with a pair of snowy eyes: "You are Sun Yuan?" ”

Sun Yuan had never seen such a bright gaze, and in just an instant, Shi Kefa's short figure seemed to instantly become taller, filled with a powerful aura.

If ordinary people were stared at with such eyes, they would have been trembling and afraid to sweat, and they would have been completely shocked.

It's a pity that Sun Yuan was a well-informed white-collar worker in his previous life, what kind of person has not been seen. After crossing over to the Ming Dynasty, life and death have gone through several times, and his heart has long been as solid as iron.

"It's Sun Yuan." Sun Yuan straightened up, in his opinion, the person who can have this kind of gaze must be a person with an extremely strong personality, and he is not too easy to get along with.

"You came to Nanjing this time to send troops to Henan?" Shi Kefa is not big, but he has a lot of energy, and his voice is very loud.

"Exactly." Sun Yuan said: "Since the thieves entered the south of Kou Henan, the land of Yu has been eroded. Luoyang has fallen, and now Kaifeng has been besieged by Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai. The imperial court had an edict ordering troops from all over the country to enter Yu to suppress thieves, and Sun Yuan was deeply favored by the emperor, thinking day and night, thinking about how to serve the country and the imperial court. ”

He sorted out his thoughts and said: "The significance of Kaifeng to Henan is extremely significant, and if Kaifeng does not exist, Henan will not be guaranteed." If Henan is not protected, the Central Plains will be in danger. If the Central Plains fails, the world will be in turmoil, especially the hearts of the people. In other words, if something happens in Kaifeng, the situation will be reversed immediately. ”

"Now, Baoding, Xuanfu, Huguang, Shaanxi soldiers and horses from all walks of life gathered in Kaifeng, the total number has reached 180,000, as for Li, Luo two thieves, the troops and coerced the homeless people, there are also more than 300,000, an unprecedented war is imminent. Since the Battle of Songjin in our dynasty, the elite of the nine sides and the grain and straw of the Central Plains have been completely destroyed, and these 180,000 horses have been the last force that our dynasty can mobilize. The First World War of Kaifeng is of great significance, which is related to the national fortune of our dynasty and the life and death of our Ming Dynasty. ”

"Ministry, Sun Yuan is deeply favored by the country, how can he put it out of the way, and plan to dispatch all the elites in the town to enter Yu. It's a pity that there is a shortage of money and food in the army, so I came to Nanjing to meet the ministry this time, and I want to ask if the military department and the household department can borrow 200,000 taels of military salaries to Yangzhou Town. Secondly, since the beginning of the year, Sun Yuan has asked for his life in the above three excerpts, but now, it is like a stone sinking into the sea. Sun Yuan wanted to ask the ministry about the dispatch of troops from Yangzhou Town, what was the attitude of the imperial court? ”

The death of the Ming Dynasty was due to financial bankruptcy, and the military department on the Beijing side really couldn't even pay the money for the messengers sent to the capital. But Jiangnan was an important place of imperial wealth, and the Nanjing government was still very rich. Otherwise, after the Jiashen Heavenly Change, it would be impossible for the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty to support it.

Speaking of this, Sun Yuan became excited: "Sun Yuan is a mustard martial artist, and he doesn't know any big truths. But there is a sentence that is Sun Yuan's motto---- humble did not dare to forget the country---- this time into Henan, Sun Yuan did not hesitate to beat the troops and shed all the blood......"

Sun Yuan's words were full of emotion, and he even moved himself, and his body trembled slightly.

But before he could finish speaking, Shi Kefa suddenly slapped the table: "Crazy!" ”

"Ahh Sun Yuan thought that his set of patriotic remarks would definitely arouse the resonance of Shi Kefa, but he never expected to get such a comment. Unexpectedly, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and I couldn't say anything: "Ministry...... Ministry ......"

"Crazy, Sun Yuan, Sun Yuan, what do you want the old man to say about you?" Shi Kefa couldn't help but point his finger at Sun Yuan, and shouted: "200,000 taels of silver for military expenses, you are really a lion with your mouth open, and you can say it." How much budget does the old man's military department have a year, 100,000 taels, what, it's all for you, what if you open it in other places? Also, what is the purpose of the imperial court to set up Yangzhou Town? Reward, place your grandson someone? Naive! ”

Shi Kefa's voice was sonorous and powerful, causing echoes in the room: "You don't know, okay, the old man will tell you today." The imperial court set up Yangzhou Town alone, which was to prevent Zhang Xianzhong's thief army from advancing eastward, threatening Nanjing, and emulating the old events of the Chuzhou War. This is what you should do, Sun Yuan, to be a man. ”

Speaking of the back, Shi Kefa can be said to be very angry: "Yangzhou Town is under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Military Department, for the use of the Yangzhou Town Army, the Nanjing Military Department has its own planning, you have nothing to ask for any war, if something happens, or if you lose the battle, who is it?" Is it possible, Henan must be defeated if you leave your grandson, is it possible, the 180,000 army of the imperial court is not as good as your 10,000 horses? Ridiculous! ”

Sun Yuan didn't expect that he would take the initiative to ask for a war and get such a result. In the past few years, he has dominated a town, wielding the power of life and death of tens of thousands of horses, and he is used to being majestic, when has he ever been scolded like this.

Suddenly his face turned blue with anger, and he clenched his fists fiercely, pinching his knuckles and turning white.

There was a strange thought in my heart: The little old man in front of me was Shi Kefa, could it be a mistake? It's clearly a disgusting and contemptible old bureaucrat! If something happens to you, or if you lose the battle, who is it? Is it possible, Henan must be defeated if you leave your grandson, is it possible, the 180,000 army of the imperial court is not as good as your 10,000 horses? Ridiculous! ”
